Status: offline 		A short while ago, I moved with my job, which like many of us is overly demanding of my time, so I stopped any WitP play for about six months. I’d say that is the longest in many years over many versions of War in the Pacific (WitP AE, WitP, Gary Grigsby original WitP, and maybe even Guadalcanal on the Apple IIc).

Sometimes a break is good. When you come back to the game, you realize just how good it is.

Thx

I was upset to lose that action, 'cos I was really starting to bring the hurt - but mebbe it was for the best, as I needed to focus on social/family life for the holidays!

Anyhow, I've now got a new laptop, quite a speedy thing, got it set up w/ Java, Tracker & CombatReporter are on-line, so I'm starting a new DBB-B scenario #30 game against the AI IJ.

Actually in your statement here lacks how much beneficial for your own lifetime, health and success, had been being without this dangerous addiction;

Feeding the cat.....She can fight the dogs for food.
Letting the dogs outside......They can use the Cat's litter box.
Bathroom breaks....3-5 minutes. Unless I bring the laptop with me.
Meals with family....20 minutes. If I am cooking, 20 minutes and 30 seconds.
Doing the dishes.....Let the kids do them.
"Honey Do" List......Kids can put in the new redwood deck just fine. No reason why a 10 year old cannot handle a skill saw. Has to learn sometime.
Sleep.....3-4 hours.....Max.
Family Holidays......6-7 hours. Unless I can sneak off. Laptop in the bathroom works.

Looks like family holidays.

Ditto. Occasional pauses but not for long without at least one match going...
